will: well done, that was beautiful. jp performing the national anthem as we welcome you live from the wildhorse saloon in nashville, tennessee for new year's eve. rachel: we will be here for a long time. pete: it is 6 a.m. eastern am eastern time, 5 am local. i haven't done the math yet. in 15 hours, 16 hours we will start ringing in the new year into 2,023. rachel: if i know pete, the parting will start sooner than that. pete: maybe even started yesterday. we hope you will join us tonight. we are hosting "fox and friends" weekend live from nashville. great job by jp burr and you

were saying you walked -- a cool thing about nashville is going bar to bar and you might find world-class music. will: my family jointly, two country singers, a man and a guitar, it is everywhere in nashville. rachel: that makes it a great place to live. we start with a fox news alert. pope and moraitis benedict xvi has died at the age of 95. pete: catholics across the us are waking up to the news of the retired pontiff's passing. will: good morning, alexandria. >> reporter: the former pope's death comes 10 years after he unexpectedly stepped down from the position. benedict xvi was the first to do so in almost 600 years. he cited his advanced age, the vatican confirms his death at the age of 95 has come. with sorrow i inform you, pope

and meredith -- pope emeritus benedict xvi passed away at the monterey collegium monastery. he took the name benedict xvi when named pontiff in april 2005. bells ringing for him in vatican city where he had remained and passed after a period of ill health. in recent days his successor, pope francis, asked for prayers for benedict. during his 8 years as pope the catholic church endured a tumultuous time. he later apologized for the church's handling of the widely publicized sex abuse scandals. throughout his life, benedict was a prolific writer, he penned several books, multiple books, jesus of nazareth, they were among the most acclaimed. he will go down in history for his thoughtfulness, and after his passing he took on perhaps a less conservative perspective.

that is what many had seen, the relationship between he and the current pope. that had been delved into and will continue to do so by historians. he will remain in the vatican where beloved people from all over the world will likely visit as he lies there as a pope who went down in history. he was among only six popes in 2,000 years of history to not serve out this position for life. at the time he cited old age. he ended up being able to continue his life another decade before passing as the vatican now confirms. pete: thank you. rachel: she talked about the tumultuous times during when he was pope and that is true, there was the sex scandals rocking of the church but we are living into mulch was times and the divide is interesting

because pope benedict represents the conservative more orthodox side of the church, and pope francis, church attendance has never been lower than right now. alexandra talked about this friendship. they are colleagues, they are brothers, we have a moment we have two popes, no one understand it better than they so they are close but make no mistake, there is a very deep divide in the church right now. i have never seen it in my lifetime, it has never been more obvious and more perilous than right now. pete: he was a child in world war ii in germany when the nazis took over. and his -- he was a progressive theological student. he saw marxism and atheism creeping into your band he put that into the church.

he was the head of doctrine for 25 years, a student of the faith and defender of the faith. rachel: and a very renowned and admired intellectual. a true intellectual. lahuren green is our religion correspondent. >> reporter: i've got laryngitis here. will: your reaction as people wake to this news. he had been retired almost a decade but a huge force in the church. >> reporter: it is incredibly sad. he was an influential voice in the church. you must remember he is the last vestige of vatican ii in the catholic church. he was there as an advisor in vatican ii which celebrated its 60th year.

he and john paul ii were there. he's the last vestige of understanding what vatican ii was all about. a lot of people don't understand what he did. he has an incredible theological mind. is writing is incredible. anyone who understands theology -- they didn't just know the church, he was in love with jesus christ. he was not a media darling. they never brought that out about him but he loved the church, loved jesus christ, communicate that with the church. and also loved music. that is one thing i bonded with him on. when he was -- on his brother's 90th birthday.

his brother -- i saw the qualities in this man. he is quiet. he knows his theology. he knows what he is saying. i know the controversies about his papacy but if you read the words you understand he didn't say what they think he said. that is what people are trying to get out. he was speaking from a historical point of you. he was a warm man. he hugged his mother, my mother hugged him. when you are raised in a black baptist church they don't tell you you are not supposed to hug the pope. this will probably be some of

the things history will rewrite the history of his papacy understanding who he was. pete: appreciate you getting up this morning, we know you are fighting laryngitis. appreciate your personal experiences with the pope. now to another fox news alert. an arrest is made in the murders of four idaho college students that rocked the country 7 weeks ago. the suspect, facing 4 counts of first-degree murder. rachel: lara ingle is live where the suspect is held without bond. >> good morning, the long wait to put a face and a name to a suspect in this case came to a end yesterday in pennsylvania. some 2500 miles from the crime scene in idaho. east 28-year-old brian ko

kohlberger. investigators revealed during a press conference friday that he was living at an apartment in pullman, washington 9 miles away from the crime scene in idaho. the police chief talked about the initial 911 call that came in the moment the four university of idaho students were found dead. >> the morning of november 13, 911 call was made at 11:fifty eight a.m. reported an unconscious person at the residence. the call came in, the call came from inside the home of one of the surviving roommate's cell phones. >> reporter: during the presser investigators said they do not have the murder weapon but they did recover a white élan truck --elantra. they explained the next legal

steps in this case. >> the process at this point since he was arrested in another state, he can waive extradition and return voluntarily to the state of idaho, or if he prefers not to await extradition, we will initiate a tradition proceedings through the governor's office. it can take a while for him to get here. >> reporter: bryan christopher kohlberger is being held at the monroe county jail until his next court hearing this coming thursday. the father of one of the victims, spoke with fox last night about this major break in the case. >> me and my family, you can't even smile when you have this over your head. a little bit of weight has been relieved and things are on the right track and we are moving in the right direction. we have hope that we have somebody in custody. that is a lot better off than we were 48-hour is in.

>> reporter: genetic genealogy is said to have played a role in bringing that break in this case and investigators said during the press conference they still want people to come forward because now that we have a suspect, they want to know more about him, people saw him around the time of the murders, what he was like, did he act strange in the following days, so there's a lot more to come as we sit outside the jail here in monroe county. pete: we have a name and a suspect this morning but it is striking to me how little we still know. there are details, hard to know what is relevant, apparently he was up through his senior year of high school overweight, he became a strict vegan, lost a lot of weight. according to some of his friends his reports became more aggressive, changed friend groups, he was getting a phd in criminology at washington state

and doing surveys online about the mindset of criminals. it is hard to know what is relevant but the questions remain, what was this man's motivation. will: he was posting on redit, surveys out to criminals, if you did it, why did you do it? what was your mental mindset afterwards. if you got away with it how did you get away with it? he was trying to do research on something that was dysfunctional in his own head. two details, this white elan elantra, they zeroed in, the other aspects, family genealogy and dna, he doesn't have a criminal record, there wouldn't be dna filed for him but there was family dna they tied to his family tree. between that and the white elantra you get this creepy,

knowledge guy but the fbi were surveilling that house for four days and investigators in idaho kept it under wraps for obvious reason. but closure, beginning of closure is good for these families. rachel: the interviews with the families even now after hearing this news, this brings the tiniest bit of joy just knowing the journey is going to be for them, it is mind blowing what those families have been going for you. these kids seem so full of life, so happy living there. what is the connection of this man to them? was a totally random? we don't know yet. will: we are a tightknit community, he wasn't from that community. was it random or targeted? we don't know. rachel: nancy grace, we go to her with so many stories and here is what she said about the

intent of this suspect. >> this guy was very socially awkward. he was so fast eddie us, he is described as being an overzealous vegan. to the point that he made his parents throw out their pots and pans that have ever touched meet. the high heat bake cycle wasn't enough for him. they had to throw out their pots and pans and for him to cook his vegan meals and. think about it. do i care about his pots and pans? i don't, but what that tells me is he has an acute attention for detail. he went into this house, i am telling you with the intent to kill, just like the charge says. he didn't going to rape or steel, he went into kill. he had this thing planned out. will: let's hope we don't make

this guy famous. that is half the time what they want. because of the gruesome nature of it. it is all about the families of the victims. if he is convicted if he is the right guy, spend the rest of his life in prison. pete: let's do our best to understand not only so we can prevent, but this was a case that was lost out there at least on the surface, appear to be lost for several weeks. the fbi and local police department i am sure had leads and were working on information. for the rest of us, where is this case going? rachel: an interesting point. his sister was a mental health professional in new jersey who wrote an op-ed about the killings in ulvalde. a lot of strange pieces of information. pete: we are going to toss it to carley shimkus for headlines. carley: starting in oregon, a

homeless woman held without bail after the shocking, unprovoked attack in portland. surveillance video shows the suspect shoving a 3-year-old girl face first off a light rail platform on wednesday. thankfully a bystander rescued the child before train pulled in. the girl suffered a head injury but is expected to be okay. sam bankman-fried is expected to enter a not guilty plea in a tuesday court date in manhattan. the disc raped chris oak -- is accused of supporting his alameda readout hedge funds, making huge political contributions, bankman-fried has been freed on $250 million bond and living at his parents california home following his extradition last month from the bahamas. legendary tv journalist barbara walters has died. her spokesperson says she passed away in her home peacefully surrounded by her loved ones.

elizabeth hassle back will be joining us, former cohost overview along with barbara walters, she will be here at 9:15 eastern time. rachel: i got my start, i was on the real world but got my real start from barbara walters. i got to know her over the years come she was perplexed by my life choices. she is an amazing woman. i will always be grateful for knowing her. she had a very maternal feeling about young people coming into the business as i was. i always feel i am lucky to know that i worked with barbara walters. i feel the same about maria bartiroma. and icon, larger than life. looking forward to this interview with elizabeth. will: in nashville, tennessee we are bringing in new year

doctor and ec boost founder dr. jeanette nesheiwat. great to have you here. let's get the debbie downer topic out of the way. measles outbreak. why is it happening? >> usually lack of vaccination. we have amazing measles vaccines to prevent you picking up measles by 99% and unlike the covid vaccine prevents the spread of the measles. get your childhood vaccines at this problem will be solved. pete: an actual vaccine, doctor fauci is his last day as an aig -- director. rachel: this is what he pushed for when obama, the obama administration had him suspended he pushed forward and that is what we had, a million americans who have been killed. we need to get to the bottom of this and figure out where did covid come from, investigate so we don't have another pandemic outbreak without knowing the

previous because of it, did it come from the wuhan lab or from nature? how do we protect americans? we need to hold government officials who were complicit in this dangerous frankenstein type research. they need to be held -- use a new year, it is great but fauci would like it to be as turning the page new year, there needs to be hearings and to be held accountable. rachel: the republicans, my brother-in-law michael walsh said there will be investigation and they will hold people accountable for what happened. the last 2 or 3 pandemics of come out of china. we need to figure out what happened, they are becoming more deadly with each pandemic. the more they lie about these vaccines, they didn't have the transmission. people are getting vaccines, they don't trust public health. will: hopefully whoever is behind him is not worse. we want to get to the real topic.

we've got new year's tonight. i will not be abstaining from alcohol, nor will most of our viewers. you debunk myths about how to recover from a hangover? dr. janette nesheiwat:the american heart association reckonings not having more than one drink and a 24 hour period, not to have more than two. what is a hangover? that happens on your blood alcohol level drops to 0 and that is when you feel headache, nauseous and fatigue and upset stomach. the thing to do is make sure you are staying hydrated, drinking throughout the evening, don't hydrate afterwards. you want to stay hydrated and stick to clear liquids, not liquids, vodka versus red wine, red wine and darker color liquors have collagens that can make your hangover a little worse. pete: a roomful of whiskey and bourbon.

dr. janette nesheiwat:so you will have less of a -- rachel: have a glass of water. pete: i don't know if these are myths or facts but certainly facts of my life. bananas, i heard, eggs and we all like greasy breakfast. dr. janette nesheiwat:after a heavy night of drinking you want to replenish the last electrolytes, replenish the dehydration because alcohol is a diuretic. regular water, ginger ale, and receive breakfast. fried eggs even though it is greasy, fat protein, amino acids, carbohydrates, some toast with maybe some avocado, some salmon that will replenish your blood sugar that drops so you want to stabilize your blood sugar. there's not really a cure for hangover, just a matter of making you feel better over time. the most important thing is

hydration and don't drink and drive. we will keep you on hand. rachel: you are going to watch over us. pete: i heard clear liquor had less of a hangover. but you also take bc boost. rachel: i have been taking my bc boost. will: thanks for being here. if you are just waking up with us a fox news alert, pope benedict xvi has died. we learned the funeral will be thursday at st. peter's square. we will monitor the events at the vatican and keep you updated on the fox news channel. pete: a suspect is arrested in the deaths of four university of idaho students. the former fbi director joins us on that next.

pete: authorities in pennsylvania arresting 28-year-old bryan christopher kohberger, a graduate student

in chronology, washington state. for the brutal slayings of four university of idaho students. chris sweiker joins us now. you have the perspective we need. at the outset you have the same details many of us do this morning, perhaps a few more. what are your initial reactions on the suspect? >> it is a good piece of police work, detective work, they did the gumshoe, things you have to do to solve a case like this. dna played a very significant role, i know it did. leading to the identification of the suspect. the forensics will loom large in a circumstantial case like this, improving the case as well. no eye witness, here we now have a graduate student in criminology, phd student in chronology who bears so much

resemblance to ted bundy it is scary. they were both students at a high level, bundy was a law student, bryan christopher kohberger was a couple of justice phd. they moved away from their initial universities to get away from their earlier crimes. bryan christopher kohberger and bundy both. it will be interesting to see how this plays out and see if -- i hate to say it, other victims. will: following up on that, that's an interesting observation. do you have a suspicion this wouldn't be his first crime? >> i'm not a behavioral scientist, but fbi behavioral scientists have been studying this for a long time. people like this don't spontaneously combust overnight. there's a buildup to it. there are urges. those urges are latent and then played out in stocastalking,

breaking and entering, peeping into windows, that urge becomes more overt at some point. he's 28 years old. i find it hard to believe this first kill, a violent quadruple homicide using a large hunting knife, it just doesn't ring true to me. there's a buildup to this. if you look back at his previous college you might find some history there. will: i have limited time. i but to fit these questions and. the amount of information we have right now, you mentioned behavioral sciences unit at the fbi. how odd are the details around this crime? you look for patterns, you mentioned one of the patterns, previous crimes. is this an outlier or does it fit the proverbial profile of a

killer? >> i don't think he is an outlier in the context of mass murderers or serial killers. they have this urge to kill, they can act normal for period of time and then they go psychotic and then back to normal, or on the outward looking in side. i think he fits a pretty common profile in the context of serial killers and mass murderers. will: explain to me in 30 seconds if you can, genealogical dna, he left dna at the crime scene, meaning he has no criminal record to tie that dna to but you can find in his family tree somewhere in the government database dna and trace down to him? >> there is a new thing called foreign sick genealogy. the fbi has pioneered that. there are commercial dna databases. we can pay the money and get

our own genealogy and he will do that all the time. across all those companies there is a significant database of dna and dna relatives has built up and with a subpoena or search warrant you can go into those databases. that is the type of dna that played a significant role here. will: great conversation with you this morning that we didn't have prior to talking to you. appreciate you jumping in to "fox and friends". >> have a good morning. will: another fox news alert, pope benedict xvi has died. we are just getting that news in the past two hours, we monitor events out of the vatican and keep you updated on the fox news channel. on "fox and friends," xi jinping and vladimir putin meeting in an alarming show of. gordon chang on what their

are plotting to end the international system as we know it and form this new alliance and if this happens we won't be able to recognize the world. what will that world look like if they succeed? >> happy new year. we see a world divided into spheres of influence, maybe china ruling the world because that is beijing's ambition. what we have to understand is this is not just a competition with china and russia as president biden says, this really is china and russia trying to take down the international system that has been in place since 1648 and the rules-based order that has been in place since the end of the second world war, there will be no freedom, no democracy, no human rights if china and russia get their way. rachel: they are anticipating some sort of war, they plan on aligning for that purpose. are we ready for that? >> we are certainly not ready

for it. we are struggling to deal with the ukraine situation which is a war already despite what the chinese have been saying. beijing has been backing rusher to the hilt with the elevated commodity purchases, financing the war. china supplying diplomatic propaganda, financial system and military assistance and biden keeps warning the chinese not to supply military help but they continue to do it which is a further sign the international order is breaking down and we are no longer deterring china. rachel: they are not afraid of us. my concern is biden is in charge in this dangerous period of time in these relations and he has his head in the sand. look what is happening in latin america, he's practically handing over the western hemisphere on a platter to the chinese. is this happening because president biden is compromised by the chinese?

makes no sense why the president of the united states wouldn't be doing more to control what is happening in china and take the upper hand. is he compromised? >> he could very well be. the thing, i am not in biden's head. he also believes in the engagement theory that has been in place for five decades and especially the last three decades, this has worked out disastrously for the united states, our friends and partners. biden still clings to it because he thinks he can cooperate with china on things like climate change. people may think that climate change is important, you can't cooperate with china on anything as we are seeing right now with covid 19. rachel: he certainly cooperated with the chinese government to

enrich his family with hunter. thank you so much for joining us, you are always sounding an alarm we need to listen to. >> thank you so much and stay safe. happy 2023. rachel: thank you. think your bills are high now? just wait. we are breaking down all the tax hikes hitting americans starting at midnight tonight. more bad news but first j.p. burr is performing you can't always get what you want. ♪ ♪ ♪ you can't always get what you want ♪ you can't always get what you want ♪ you can't always get what
